Numerical Simulation and Experimental Research on Multi-Point Forming of Aluminum Alloy Sheets Based on Ultrasonic Vibration

Abstract

In this study, the multi-point plastic forming of 2024-O aluminum alloy sheets is the research object, ultrasonic vibration-assisted forming is applied in the stamping process, a combination of ABAQUS/EXPLICITE numerical simulation and theory is used, and multi-point forming experiments are performed to verify the research. In the process of multi-point forming, the influence of ultrasonic vibration on the plastic deformation and springback of sheet metal has inspired a new idea and method for multi-point forming of sheet metal. This paper presents the following: the basic theory of multi-point stamping and ultrasonic vibration-assisted metal sheet plastic forming; a comparison of the material parameters of the multi-point stamping method with and without ultrasonic vibration; the influence of different times on the results; the changes in parameters such as stress and strain at different frequencies; and the effect of its springback.
